Convection oven: what is it and what is needed, reviews

Convection in the oven

From the viewpoint of physical understanding, convection - a special type of heat exchange process, during which heat energy is distributed by means of air jets or other flows of matter. In a literal translation from the Latin word meaning "transfer". If we talk about kitchen appliances, then in the oven the most important criterion is the rate of heating and even heat distribution. It will depend on the quality of baking or other food, which involves the formulation of a baking oven. Learn more about the types can be viewed at best electric oven is built.

Further development of household appliances has led to the emergence of function convection oven. What does it mean? Each new oven became equipped with several heating elements, which can not be placed only the top or bottom, but also on the sides, and additional innovation can assume the appearance fan. Its purpose is to force the distribution of heat throughout the internal cabinet space. Thus, there is a uniform distribution of heat, which has a positive effect on the quality of cooking.

Why a convection oven, or the pros and cons of working of this option

To understand whether the convection needed in electric oven, want to know what the positive and negative plates have, endowed with a similar option. Some housewives in a review on the forums indicate that simply can not cope with the process of forced heat distribution. But most of the women, who predominate in the kitchen, said that the use of the convector in the oven greatly simplifies the preparation of many dishes.

To understand what is needed in a convection oven, it should be understood the device and know what kinds of options exist. As noted above, the main elements of the plate are convection fan, which is located on the rear wall and heating elements or heating elements located along the perimeter of the working surface oven. Upon reaching a certain temperature within the oven chamber includes a fan, which starts to disperse the hot air, creating a uniform distribution throughout the volume.

There are several types of convection, little different nuances of the work:

1. natural. This species is not an option, which is equipped with plates available in sales, as a natural convection refers to the movement of air masses under the influence of simple laws of physics. Warm air rises upwards when heated, and the cold descends. Thus, when the temperature inside the oven is a natural mixing, which leads to the gradual equalization of temperature within the desired volume. Of all types of such species is the least effective.
2. compulsory. This is the most common convection, which is used in ovens and ovens for industrial use. On the market there are many models with forced type, differing in price. Cheaper boards are equipped with a low-power single-fan, just move the air in the interior of the oven. Models of the middle price segment and the premium boards are equipped with a stronger version of the fan, which can create a powerful and even heat flow and maintain such a regime for a considerable time, allowing you to get juicy and rosy dish.
   

   The principle of forced convection fan is applied to disperse the hot air

3. wet. A variation of the forced convection, which is further fine distribution of steam. This helps to ensure that baking rather raised, and does not allow dishes to dry. As the wet type is not created the effect of roasting, in the presence of such an option, you can not use oil.

When purchasing more in the store, you can pay attention to the presence of special icons that appear on the display boards and mean the inclusion of a mode of operation.

Why a convection oven, and features functions for different types of plates

What convection oven electric cookers

Some housewives ask a reasonable question, as far as needed in an electric convection oven, which is considered the most powerful of all types and is able to warm up to a temperature of 300 ° C. In fact, the use of the convector is necessary to obtain a uniform distribution of warm air. Despite the presence of several heating elements and high power is not always possible to achieve complete propekaniya without burning. The reasons for this may be:

• slow rate of natural convection;
• the thickness of the trays;
• different density foods.

To the finished dish got roasted, baked goods was crispy without convector can not do. Therefore, electric cookers models with this option is the most popular on the market.

What is the convection in the gas stove

Gas cooker with convection ovens have their fans, which is due primarily to the relatively low cost of this type of fuel. Modern plates, running on gas and equipped with convector, outwardly no different from their normal "brothers". The only difference is the presence of built-in fan in the back wall.

Convector used in gas stove has the features work. Because such models is only part of the heating from the bottom, to obtain required temperature convector want to run for a while and then upload oven dish. A significant disadvantage of gas models is the lack of complete hermetic sealing of the oven, as it requires the constant output of the combustion products. This leads to an increase in cooking time, creating additional problems for the hostess.

Grill with convection - what is it

Modern stoves are often equipped with additional options, such as grilling function. Its presence makes it possible to cook a piece of meat on a skewer like a plunge into the past, when the ancestors prepared their food over a fire. Two types of grilling all there:

• gas, which is created by using a full sense of cooking on charcoal;
• electrical, wherein more convenient operation.

The presence of the grill does not mean the absence of convection. On the contrary, these two modes complement each other perfectly. If there are two convector grilling is provided in the plate:

• aerogrill;
• turbogril.

The respective mode is activated by pressing a button on the control panel. A feature is the ability to use aerogrill obtain juicy meat with a crispy crust due to generated heat uniformly across the surface of the dishes.

Turbogril required when there is a need not only to fully propech piece, but also to do it quickly. Its main task is to activate all of the heating elements that are available in the plate, and all the fans.

What convection microwave

Microwave became familiar to every family, since this appliance allows you to quickly warm up small portions of food or exercise defrost foods. At its core, the convector installed in a microwave oven, is no different from a similar device in a standard oven, except that size. Small fan causes air flow distribution within the chamber. Upon reaching the appropriate temperature settings are automatically switched off. Using a convection microwave oven reduces cooking time is approximately two times.

How to use the convection electric oven

Each manufacturer accompanies their products with detailed instructions how to use the oven, equipped with a convection function. There are a few rules to keep in mind that cooking brings joy, but the result was obtained tasty and attractive:

1. Using convection function does not require preheating of the oven. The only exceptions are models that run on gas. Also preheat the cabinet may be required if you plan to cook meals that require high initial temperature (soufflés, bread, meringue).
2. Note that when using the convector cooking performed at lower temperatures. Therefore it is required to make correction for 20-25 ° C in the recipe.
3. If the oven is full, then to complete cooking may be required extra time as baking standing on different shelves impede the free circulation of air streams.
4. When cooking different foods at the same time in different dishes should be noted that the time to complete their cooking may vary. This time you want to track, to avoid overcooking.
5. Convection can be used for the preparation of frozen products without pre-thawing. But it requires preheating of the oven, which can last from 20 to 40 minutes.
